Americans don’t like socialism, everyone knows that. So how come they’re voting for socialists? Today’s artefact is a 1988 DSA flyer from my US tour.

Alan Cumming calling out the terfs: “Feminism is about equality. How can you be against equality? That’s what feminism used to be about. You want people to have as good a life as you. But now it appears: “Mmm - but not trans people.”

If this had been a Just Stop Oil protest the police would have been all over this. Not only would hundreds have been dragged away by now but the police would definitely have known about this in advance

The Home Office has serious questions to answer

It gets worse and worse. Reform is just a party of deranged pub bores protesting about everything and anything. They have no solutions of any kind and cannot sustain even the mildest scrutiny. Not a party for government, not now, not ever.
